Division of Academic Services

The Division of Academic Services includes three outstanding student service departments: the Academic Exploration Program (AEP), Academic Support and Career Services.

Academic Services provides programs, services and resources that support students and promote both academic excellence and personal growth. The division’s goal is to assist students in discovering and building their self-awareness and developing the academic, personal and professional skills they need to be successful both at Niagara and in life after college.

Supporting students’ development as competent, confident, responsible and reflective lifelong learners is vital to their success not only at Niagara University, but throughout their lives. All of the departments in Niagara University’s Division of Academic Services provide a welcoming environment for students, collaborate with faculty, staff and the community and endeavor to bring to life the Vincentian charism of service inspired by St. Vincent de Paul.

The Academic Exploration Program helps students identify their interests, abilities and values so that they can make an educated and confident major selection. AEP provides a learning experience using resources from all areas on campus through individualized guidance. Students participate in the exploration process in order to select a major that supports their career goals.

The Office of Academic Support contributes to the students’ academic achievement and fosters their independence as learners through teaching, tutoring, academic mentoring and supporting students with disabilities.
